Limelight

For the cross of Gelonade and Zangria that Wizard Trees offers as Limelight, the breeder states a flowering time of 9 weeks and a high yield. According to these details, seeds are available only as feminized, and the strain can be grown indoors and outdoors. The name is used more than once, however: lines with an entirely different pedigree run under the same or a nearly identical name.

Cultivation:

Accounts of how the Wizard Trees genetics turn out in cultivation come mainly from a Canadian producer that selected its own phenotype from their seeds and carried it on. It describes dense, pyramid-shaped flowers in summery green with purple and pink tones under a thick layer of trichomes; the structure of the flowers is said to make trimming easy. Wizard Trees itself speaks of round, mostly green flowers with colored accents and sticky resin. A Californian test report found small to medium-sized flowers with heavy resin coverage.

Genetics and Origin:

Wizard Trees is listed as the breeder of the cross of Gelonade and Zangria, and the Canadian producer also attributes the breeding to Wizard Trees. The Californian test report, by contrast, names Fiya Farmer as the original breeder; according to the pedigree data, the parent Zangria comes from Fiya Farmer.

As a parent, this Limelight appears in Black Light by Wizard Trees, a cross with CBD White Widow, in Lime Spritz by Green Lion Seeds with Ice Cream Cake, and in Sour Jamaican Lime, a cross with OG Kush × Afgooey from an unknown breeder.

Versions from Different Breeders:

A year of origin exists only for the line from Kali Grown Seeds in Santa Rosa, Northern California: (Key Lime Pie × Lemon Tree) × Kali Grown OG, bred in 2018 according to a strain description and also listed as Rockstar or Lime Light.

In Canada, a producer sells a selection of Ultra Sour under the name Limelight. Ultra Sour is regarded as a cross of East Coast Sour Diesel and MK Ultra. The product information gives 20 to 27 % THC as well as terpinolene, caryophyllene and humulene; a test report adds pinene and limonene and criticized small, popcorn-like flowers with a high share of leaf.

A cross of Orange Zeta and Blue Flame OG with no breeder named runs as Limelight or Limelight OG and is documented as a preroll from Illinois. A strain description also assigns Mother Herb a line of Kosher Kush × Chernobyl. Taylormade Selections lists a cross of Buffalo Lights and Limearita under the name Limelight's.

Aroma and Flavor:

Wizard Trees compares the scent of its own line to lime mojito and Sprite; the candy-like sweetness of Zangria is said to lie beneath the citrus notes. The Canadian producer describes coniferous wood, earth and sour citrus notes when the flower is broken up, and when smoked first a bitter, chemical-seeming orange peel, then sweet basil and a finish reminiscent of apple. In the Californian test report, sweet, tropical notes with lemon and lime came to the fore, with a hint of gasoline in the finish.

For the Kali Grown line, users mention lime, lemon, earth, apple, pepper and pine. In a test report, the Canadian Ultra Sour selection smelled sweet, fruity and sour, of apple and citrus, and tasted of pine with lemony sweetness.

THC and CBD Content:

The available values belong to different lines. A strain description of the Kali Grown line gives 18 % THC and 0 % CBD. For the Canadian Ultra Sour selection, the product information states 20 to 27 % THC. A 2023 test report from Illinois lists 16.78 % THCA and 0.36 % THC for a preroll of the Orange Zeta line. A strain description assigns the Mother Herb line 24.01 % THC and 0.06 % CBD, without naming a lab or date.

Effects:

The user reports read describe Limelight as clear and activating. Focus, energy, uplifted mood and creativity are mentioned, along with euphoria, talkativeness, silliness and appetite, and occasionally a tingling sensation. Wizard Trees places its own line between focused productivity and relaxed zoning out, and the Californian test report rated it as balanced.

Not all accounts agree. A test report from Montreal describes the effect of the Canadian selection as intense, with anxious tension and a tiredness that forced lying down. A description of the Orange Zeta line points out that it may amplify nervousness and be strongly sedating in larger amounts. Users name dry mouth, dry eyes and headache as side effects, and in individual reports increased pulse, stomach complaints and a scratchy throat.
